Studio Monitor Vs Computer Speakers For Gaming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know this monitor is intended to be used with a computer, but i got to thinking, my new Xbox is technically a computer so why not. Hooked it up and BOOM, I was gaming! I do wish it had built in speakers but for how amazing The game looks on this Monitor, I will live with hooking up external speakers of some kind. The refresh rate is astonishing! My 12 year old is a tech junkie and he sat with me, just as amazed as I was at the picture on the screen and the clarity and how much is doesn't lag!! My gaming skills have drastically improved! I will most definitely be purchasing HyperX products from now on!

It only took a few minutes to assemble and position these stands. I use them for my computer's M-AUDIO studio monitor speakers. Since I installed the stands, I've been wondering why I didn't buy them sooner. The sound is so much better having the speakers at the right height.

Great monitor for gaming and for general use. It does not have built in speakers.

I recently purchased the Kali Lone Pine Studio Monitor V2 speakers and I am blown away by their performance. The sound quality is crystal clear and the bass response is impressive. The compact size makes them perfect for my home studio, but they pack a punch that can easily fill a larger room. The build quality is top-notch and they look great on my desk. I highly recommend the Kali Lone Pine Studio Monitor V2 speakers to anyone in need of an upgrade to their studio setup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my monitor for gaming on Xbox and my computer for streaming

The Datacolor SpyderX we purchased is great. Really makes the colors match on our computer VS what we are seeing in person. We highly recommend using this product compared to all of the competition's copycat products. This was well worth the investment!

Awesome portable gaming monitor surprise audio speakers is incredible for the small frame love it

I use this monitor for work and gaming on my Xbox Series S/Nintendo Switch. Easy to setup, looks stunning, the controls on the back are easy to use, turn on, switches inputs quickly and easily. The speakers are surprisingly good if you're someone who isn't too concerned about audio, I use a headset most of the time but on the off times I use the built in speakers they sound good. The settings navigation UI isn't great but not something I would worry about to impact the quality of the monitor. Definitely recommend this monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serves as my work-from-home monitor and is also used for gaming and watching TV when not working. The available apps cover all my streaming needs, the picture quality is excellent. There is also an option to use the latest game streaming services (Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, or Google Stadia [though this service has been recently discontinued]). The built-in speakers are even pretty good. Especially considering what you typically get with a monitor. You can also connect Bluetooth speakers and have the TV route audio through it instead. The remote works very well and has some quick launch buttons for the more common streaming apps as well. It may take a little getting used to, at first. Since it doesn't really have "input" switching buttons. Instead, you navigate to the different types of devices that you have connected (or apps installed). So, when you're wanting to play Xbox, you would go to the gaming section on the home screen and select either the physical Xbox that's connected or launch the Xbox Cloud app to stream games. My only real complaint with this monitor is that the stand isn't adjustable. I'd like to raise it just slightly higher. It is at a pretty good height, but I would like it just a little higher for my personal preference.

I purchase this monitor for the dual use of general computer use and gaming. Having tried some higher refresh rate TN panels that were great at gaming, but that were not very good for everyday tasks. This monitor fits the bill with a 75 Hz refresh rate and adaptive sync that works with NVIDIA when using DisplayPort. Keep in mind that the adaptive sync range is pretty small 48 Hz to 75 Hz but running at native 1920x1200 resolution, games look spectacular. When using the monitor for text and photo editing, it is clear, bright, and has excellent color depth. The monitor includes a built-in USB hub as well as integrated speakers. The speakers don't give you a wide range of sound but they are plenty loud and perfectly serviceable. For rich sound though you will need external speakers. The on-screen display (OSD) and quick access buttons on the front of the monitor are very easy to use. Additionally, there a many presets for different use cases that work well for reading, photo editing, and general use. The only complaint I have is that I wish the pixel density was a little higher. However, all things considered, I am happy with this monitor.
